Hawridge King scored over C&D in September but he's 5lb higher on his return to action and Miss Topsy Turvy went close over track and trip in October off a 2lb lower mark. Both Blimey O'Riley and Danvilla both won over 2m last season while Praxiteles scored over today's trip at Ffos Las in July and a recent outing over hurdles should have brought him on. FOUR NATIONS also has a recent pipe-opener under his belt and given he was placed in better company than this last term, Amanda Perrett's charge gets a tentative vote. Monterey showed ability as a three-year-old but hasn't raced since and may be best watched on this occasion.
